Hi Nick, as always thanks so much for your kind words and compliments, you really do spoil me, and encourage me to carry on with my channel. Hope you are well and hope to see you on my next episode. G
Well done Gareth. For a place that has had Detectorist on it for a while, you did really well. Congrats on the silver love token. Certainly wouldn’t want that musket ball going through you. Good haul of coins too. Catch you on the next one. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍
Hi Andrew, yeah mate didn't do too bad, I thought this place would be littered with signals due to the history there. I've been back a couple times and found more cool stuff, but no more silver. I am due another visit here soon. Cheers mate
Great hunt once again and some great finds, that is definitely a silver love token which is great, another silver coin to add to the talley this year. Hope you and the family are well, keep up the amazing work as always
Hi Sam, cheers mate always appreciate your comments. Always nice to bag a piece of silver. This year I am stuck on a very low silver count, just 3 to my name, really struggling. Oh well, maybe next time eh, 4 day weekend coming up which means 2 good sessions
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire ah good good, I've got a busy two weeks ahead, just left for Blackpool for 2 nights leaving Thursday then away to Southwold Suffolk Saturday for a week , hoping to get some beach detecting done 🥳

Hello, yes this place definitely has the humps and bumps, it almost looks like medieval earthworks, but I don't think it is. I will be visiting this place again soon I hope, has to be some old Georgian silver on there somewhere. Thanks as always for watching :)
Always nice to have another new permission, i still have to venture on my new permission. Pity about the crusty coins but at least you found them. Well done on the silver love token as well. The capbadge was a bonus well saved, take care Gareth.
Hi John, yes mate it is always exciting and a bit of a buzz. I've got another new field to try in the morning, beautiful little pasture field no bigger than half a football pitch. Old footpath in it, bang in middle old village. AND an amazing pub that does amazing food other side a wall :)
Thank you for the trip into the past. I really enjoy every one I view. Hope your upcoming week is a great one. Hello to the Ladies in the household, and hopefully see you on the next. Cheers Gareth! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸
Hey Martin, apologies for the slow reply on this one, I have a lot of comments to respond to at the moment. How are you doing? Another working week has soon come and gone, I am looking forward to the weekend, I have a new permission to try in the morning, a small pasture field bang in the middle of an old village. Footpath running through and a nice pub other side of the wall. I'll be there first thing and finishing with a nice pint of beer after a hopefully successful morning. Gareth

Hi mate , nice day for it and plenty of finds shame the coins were so crusty but hey ho they often are the love token was a nice surprise just a shame it was not in better nick but it is 300 years old so no big surprise and the Willy love tokens are often badly worn , good episode pal hope all is good ATB Rob .
Hi mate, 99% of love tokens are worn smooth and in this condition. Its actually why they used them as love tokens. I did once find a hammered silver coin love token in absolutely amazing condition
Hi mate, apologies for the slow reply. Yes definitely a little Georgian hotspot, who knows maybe there could be a bit of Georgian silver or gold lying around. You guys will be the first to see what I find. As always thanks for visiting my channel and watching. G
Hi Shaune, thanks as always for tuning in and watching. It is always awesome to get somewhere new to detect. Working on a couple of new potential permissions at the minute, watch this space. G
That wasa cracking t-shirt mate! Nice to explore a new permission i imagine lol. I do love a cap badge and nice to get a bit of silver even if it's blank.
Hi mate, slowly working my way through replies. That was a really old video and for whatever reason I decided to wear that tshirt haha. Great location and great weather, due a return visit to this place
Another great video Gareth. A few deja vu moments as some of my first exciting finds on my first permission were exactly a crusty Georgian, a wafer-thin WIII love token and a button with the exact same swirly design! All the best from Somerset!
Hi mate, there are certainly plenty of crusty Georgian copper coins out there, I must have a few thousand in various tubs in my garage. It amazes me at how many coins are lost in the ground. Thanks very much for watching, apologies for the slow reply. G
I gained a couple of new permissions recently, ive only had time to get onto one of them for a day so far. But, on that day I found my first roman fibula, with the pin still moving. Then I found my second 20 mins later. That was in a wooded area too. Amazing. That permission youve got looks like a beautiful place to spend a sunny day.
Hi there, wow you found 2 Roman brooches on a first visit to a new permission, that is awesome. In 10 years metal detecting I'm yet to find one. This place is a beautiful place, especially in nice sunny conditions like this. Thanks very much for watching
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire well mate, if you're ever over in North wales again, send me a message, I'd happily take you onto that permission for the day 👌🏻 it's not far from Loggerheads country park, its bronze age and beyond around those parts 😍
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching. People will always miss stuff, just like I will miss stuff. Its impossible to cover every inch of a field and at every angle, not unless you stick a group dig on somewhere in which case the land will be ravaged and depleted of metal
Plenty of finds considering it has already been detected, but as we know that means absolutely nothing, I have had some of my best finds before I was disabled on land that had been detected before and Wendy and me have also found some lovely items on similarly previously detected land. All the best Wendy and Jon.
Hi Jon, thanks for the channel visit. Yes, you are right, it is very feasible to make once in lifetime finds on land that has been done by others. Not so much when been done by large groups. Hope you guys are doin OK, will check in on your channel soon. Work and life really gets in the way of my hobby and UA-cam at the moment. Gareth
Hi mate, thanks for watching this episode. Ah yeah a dog is a huge responsibility and not ideal to take metal detecting. I would love to get a pet dog, but I do not have the time, energy or money for more responsibilities. Hope to see you on another episode. G
Times are tough out there G! The weather is brutal this past month. Lucky you have a few vids in the vault. Hope you get a few new permissions this year bud to keep it going! Atb..
Hi mate, yeah I still have a few videos in the vault, trying to work my way through it to be honest. I do not like editing these older videos as they take much more effort to edit as the footage is not up to standard and less organised. Next 2 videos should be good. 4 day weekend coming up, I hope to get 2 full days in. Thanks as always for your support. G
Hi Bobby, thanks as always for your kind words and for tuning in every week. I am due another visit to this permission, must be some old Georgian silver there somewhere or other. Hope you are well and have a great weekend ahead. G
Hi there, love this comment, the scenery and wonderful views are a big part of my fondness for metal detecting and a big part of my channel. So I appreciate this comment. Hope to see you on my next episode. G
Another great looking permission you've bagged yourself .. Even though it's been done by other detectorist, there's definitely targets still there to be found. Well done on the love token. Always a good day when you find a bit of silver.. a nice selection of finds too. 👍😀
Hi mate, I think I only been here 3 or 4 times, and one time I had to go home ill as I was coming down with something. Not an easy place to detect, almost entirely steep hillside and slopes. Got to be more cool stuff there though, will return here soon. As always thanks for watching. G
@TheDukesOfDerbyshire You love steep hills.. a lot of your permissions seem to be like that. I can't wait for some of your upcoming videos.. Exciting times for your channel. Good luck 👍

Hi mate, wow that is awesome, and proper dedication to your musical idol. We also like to bang on some Joe Exotic songs on a Sunday morning, my daughter loves his music haha. And so do I to be fair!!
Hi mate, thanks for watching this episode. Where ever you are finding Georgian crusties, then there is always the chance to find Georgian silver, or even Georgian gold if you are very lucky :)
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I always enjoy watching your videos mate, so well put together and appreciate the time it takes you to do them. Tell you what I bloody hope I can find some Georgian gold 😂👍🏻 found a stunning George III wee silver on that same permission and a 1602 James I silver 1/4 Merk in amazing condition where I get all the Georgian crusties. So you never know, first gold would be amazing 😁👍🏻
Hi Philip, thanks for watching mate, ye this place is awesome, but its tough goin, almost entirely steep slopes, proper ankle breakers. Hope to see you on my next episode. G
Brilliant video Gareth watched it before but great to watch again. If your at Detectorval this year would love to buy you a beer and have a chat. Kind regards Ian and Connor Green....Tried a few vids but love your feedback...😢
Hi guys, apologies for the slow reply, it can take me many weeks to catch up replying to every comment. I have pencilled in trips to Detectival and the RCM weekender this year, first 2 weekends in September I believe, so yeah I should be there and would be great to have a beer :)
One of my ultimate bucket list coin is a George the 3rd anything lol there about as far back as you can go here 😢 congratulations on the new permission mate hope it pays off for you!!! 😀👍⛏️
Hi mate, that is crazy to think finding George III coins is difficult in Australia. You can probably find one in most peoples gardens in the UK. Finding Georgian silver and gold though is a different story. Thanks for the channel visit
The item at 1:04 is probably grape shot. Kinda makes you wonder where all the remaining shots are at. But as you stated, that field has already been detected so I'm sure others were found.
Hi, thanks very much for visiting my channel and watching this video. I'm not sure what grape shot is, I'll have a look on Google to see. I appreciate the comment and hope to see you on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
What a beautiful permission, Gareth! And what a lovely day! Congratulations on the love token. Lots of other coins there, but the fertilizer has wrecked them.❤
Helloo, thanks as always for tuning in. In these kind of conditions it sure is a beautiful place to spend a day metal detecting. I hope to re-visit this permission soon for another bash. Catch you on the next one
Hi Gareth, beautiful day on a wonderful permission. From the looks of the coins it was fertilized allot. The love token is nice. Enjoyed the hunt as as always a well shot video… John
Hi John, thanks as always for tuning in and watching. Ye mate, coins and buttons in this place are in rough condition. Only ever found 1 silver item on this permission, I'm sure there's still some nice things to be found here. Will re-visit this site soon. Catch you on the next one. G
Hi there, thanks very much for the channel visit and for watching this video. I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Wow, October 2022……halcyon days & a clear demonstration of how much your channel has moved on, despite this being a lovely shot episode. I just checked…..16 October 2022, Arsenal won 1-0 away just so you know! Probably a flukey goal from Saka 😂
Now then Marcus, yes mate one from the archives, I still have 3 or 4 other videos captured from this era ready for editing. But as always, never enough time to edit stuff, never enough time to dedicate to my channel or my hobby. Having said that, tomorrow I got a brand new permission, beautiful little pasture field, centre of a village. Old footpath right through. Nice pub on site that does the best chicken burgers the world has ever seen. That's my plan for Saturday morning, I'm buzzing. I remember that Arsenal game, we were clinging on for about 60 minutes, Leeds peppered us!!
Hi Dawn, thanks as always for tuning in and watching. All good here thanks, but as usual I struggle to find time for metal detecting, my channel, replying to comments, editing videos etc. But still trying to do what I can, when I can. The older I get, the less time I seem to have on my hands. Hope you guys are doin OK. G
Hey Jillian how are you doing, is life treating you well. Summer is finally on the horizon and warmer days and drier days hopefully. We've had so much rain this winter!!
Helloo, thanks for checking out this episode, I never did get a positive ID on that item, but a pipe tamp is a great shout. Its a lovely little find. Hope you are well and hope to catch you on another episode. G
Hi, thanks for the channel visit and for watching this video. You are right a great permission is never done, but signals do start to become more sparse. I've only been to this place 5 or 6 times. I have other permissions where I have been 60 - 70 times. I will only ever give up on a permission when I cannot make any finds
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Stay in touch with the farmer. Sometimes they plow a bit deeper which brings up new targets. Also frost is lifting stones and other things a little bit.
Hi mate, cheers, yeah not a bad little pile of finds. In 5 or 6 visits I think that was my only silver find on there. I dunno why but I just cannot find silver for love nor money at the moment. Thanks for watching
Hi thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I very much hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Ayup Shawn, yeah this place is not a bad place to spend a days detecting, but its pretty rugged and almost entirely slopes and steep banks, proper ankle buster haha. Thanks as always for tuning in
Hi John, thanks for the kind words, the milestones are ticking by slowly but surely, all driven by my Beginners Guide To Metal Detecting video. Apologies for the slow reply mate, catch you on the next one. G
Hi James, apologies for the slow reply here. Yeah the coins do not fair well at this permission. But I bet there's some more nice old silver lurking about somewhere. I am due another trip here to be honest. Hope all is well, catch you on another episode. G
Hello Gareth, good weather back then! Not so wet like today! I beleive you have got some rain the last month? Good to see you this fine 🌞 day. I was watching TerraGermania when you uploaded. He's worth watching. Have you tested the notch 99-99 to get rid of EMI? I will get it a try this season. Starting april 10th. 😝🇸🇪👍 Have a nice day!
Hi mate, apologies for the slow reply. Aye yeah some splendid weather back then, and yeah we have had tonnes and tonnes of rain, one of the wettest winters I remember. I have seen TerraGermania but not really my cup of tea, far too much talking, not enough detecting. Very well filmed and edited though. I would not notch out 99, believe it or not I found a Georgian token yesterday, not a big one, it was giving me a solid 99. I could not believe it!!
The tamper thingy looks to be maybe a pipe tamper tool...maybe?!! And I am wondering if you ever swing your detector with your left hand....or do you always use your right hand? As I get older I am trying to switch it up so as to not wear out....or build up rather... the muscles in both arms equally! Just a thought! Looks like the weather is warming up a bit hey, Gareth?!! Cheers, Mike in sunny Florida
Hi Mike, apologies for the slow reply, as always I am overwhelmed with comments to respond to, so takes me some time to get through them all. I think you might be right with the pipe tamp thing as someone else said that too. Currently I do use my right hand, but fun fact of the day about me, I'm actually left handed and I started metal detecting with my left hand, 10 years ago or so. After a few years though I developed something called trigger finger, one of my fingers would get stuck in a clenched position. I had to have a flippin operation on the palm of my hand. I was meant to be off metal detecting for 4-6 weeks, but was back detecting 3 days later with a very sore left hand. Since then I been detecting right handed. I can easily swap between though, you soon get used to it
Hi mate, always nice to find a bit of silver even if a battered old love token. I only raid the hard drive when I don't have any new content to work on. Think I have 3 or 4 left on the hard drive to edit. Currently have 2 or 3 current projects to edit. Always like to have lots of content available, hence why sometimes I try to film 2 videos in a weekend. Thanks for the visit
Ayup Dave, I don't know if I ever went back to this permission. I think I might of some weeks later but ended up going home ill. Definitely worth another visit. Very tough place to detect, all steep sided slopes, proper ankle breaker terrain. Thanks as always for watching and apologies for the slow reply. G
Hi, thanks very much for visiting my channel and for watching this video. Getting permission is the hardest part of metal detecting is getting new permissions. I usually use Google maps to find farms and places with land, then visit after 5pm or on a Saturday morning. I dress smart and use manners and be very polite, enthusiastic and passionate. Speaking to a landowner is a bit like a job interview, you have to quickly give them the impression you are a decent and trustworthy person. Once you have good relations with some landowners, they put you in touch with other landowners. And the more you ask, the better you at it you get. I hope this helps
Episode 282 - 💡This week we go back in time to October 2022 as I work through some of my backlog. The most stunning autumnal day, blue sky, sun, lush green fields and old silver. Yet another magical exploration and expedition in the wonderful Derbyshire wild lands.
Hi Tom, thanks for your kind words, it is very much appreciated. To be honest I very rarely leave Derbyshire. Although I did visit Bamburgh Castle once and did some detecting on the beach
Hi Oliver, yes, all land is owned by someone and permission must be granted by the landowner prior. You can get in a whole lot of trouble without permission as it is classed as theft and trespassing. My advice for seeking permission is as follows: Getting a metal detecting permission is probably the hardest part of the hobby and it can be daunting driving up that track to ask a farmer or landowner. But, the best way to get a permission is face to face, definitely not an email or letter. A farmer needs to see you face to face, and you need to be very polite, extremely polite in fact. I always dress smart too, I wear a shirt, trousers and shoes. To be honest getting a permission is a bit like a job interview, you have to come across as a trustworthy and decent individual. The more you do it, the better at it you get at it. Just be confident and try your best. Good luck. If you have any more questions, please let me know. Have a look at my Beginners Guide To Metal Detecting video for further tips in this awesome hobby. You can find that video here: ua-cam.com/video/UmR8OgI43uw/v-deo.htmlsi=0XDKCILynLcmT5P8 Thanks again, and I hope to see you on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth

Hi mate, wow that is awesome, and proper dedication to your musical idol. We also like to bang on some Joe Exotic songs on a Sunday morning, my daughter loves his music haha. And so do I to be fair!!
Great video as always mate, I love finding the old Georgian coins even though they are mainly totally toasted! ,😂👍🏻
Hi mate, thanks for watching this episode. Where ever you are finding Georgian crusties, then there is always the chance to find Georgian silver, or even Georgian gold if you are very lucky :)
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I always enjoy watching your videos mate, so well put together and appreciate the time it takes you to do them. Tell you what I bloody hope I can find some Georgian gold 😂👍🏻 found a stunning George III wee silver on that same permission and a 1602 James I silver 1/4 Merk in amazing condition where I get all the Georgian crusties. So you never know, first gold would be amazing 😁👍🏻
@@SgurrDetectorist you can't beat a nice silver Georgian coin 🤤
Another great looking location. Thanks for the video.
Hi Philip, thanks for watching mate, ye this place is awesome, but its tough goin, almost entirely steep slopes, proper ankle breakers. Hope to see you on my next episode. G
Brilliant video Gareth watched it before but great to watch again. If your at Detectorval this year would love to buy you a beer and have a chat. Kind regards Ian and Connor Green....Tried a few vids but love your feedback...😢
Hi guys, apologies for the slow reply, it can take me many weeks to catch up replying to every comment. I have pencilled in trips to Detectival and the RCM weekender this year, first 2 weekends in September I believe, so yeah I should be there and would be great to have a beer :)
One of my ultimate bucket list coin is a George the 3rd anything lol there about as far back as you can go here 😢 congratulations on the new permission mate hope it pays off for you!!! 😀👍⛏️
Hi mate, that is crazy to think finding George III coins is difficult in Australia. You can probably find one in most peoples gardens in the UK. Finding Georgian silver and gold though is a different story. Thanks for the channel visit
The item at 1:04 is probably grape shot. Kinda makes you wonder where all the remaining shots are at. But as you stated, that field has already been detected so I'm sure others were found.
Hi, thanks very much for visiting my channel and watching this video. I'm not sure what grape shot is, I'll have a look on Google to see. I appreciate the comment and hope to see you on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
What a beautiful permission, Gareth! And what a lovely day! Congratulations on the love token. Lots of other coins there, but the fertilizer has wrecked them.❤
Helloo, thanks as always for tuning in. In these kind of conditions it sure is a beautiful place to spend a day metal detecting. I hope to re-visit this permission soon for another bash. Catch you on the next one
Hi Gareth, beautiful day on a wonderful permission. From the looks of the coins it was fertilized allot. The love token is nice. Enjoyed the hunt as as always a well shot video… John
Hi John, thanks as always for tuning in and watching. Ye mate, coins and buttons in this place are in rough condition. Only ever found 1 silver item on this permission, I'm sure there's still some nice things to be found here. Will re-visit this site soon. Catch you on the next one. G
Lovely stuff😊😮
Hi there, thanks very much for the channel visit and for watching this video. I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Wow, October 2022……halcyon days & a clear demonstration of how much your channel has moved on, despite this being a lovely shot episode. I just checked…..16 October 2022, Arsenal won 1-0 away just so you know! Probably a flukey goal from Saka 😂
Now then Marcus, yes mate one from the archives, I still have 3 or 4 other videos captured from this era ready for editing. But as always, never enough time to edit stuff, never enough time to dedicate to my channel or my hobby. Having said that, tomorrow I got a brand new permission, beautiful little pasture field, centre of a village. Old footpath right through. Nice pub on site that does the best chicken burgers the world has ever seen. That's my plan for Saturday morning, I'm buzzing. I remember that Arsenal game, we were clinging on for about 60 minutes, Leeds peppered us!!
Hello Gareth great video as always hope you are OK 😊
Hi Dawn, thanks as always for tuning in and watching. All good here thanks, but as usual I struggle to find time for metal detecting, my channel, replying to comments, editing videos etc. But still trying to do what I can, when I can. The older I get, the less time I seem to have on my hands. Hope you guys are doin OK. G
👍👍
Hey Jillian how are you doing, is life treating you well. Summer is finally on the horizon and warmer days and drier days hopefully. We've had so much rain this winter!!
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I'm great. Hope you and your family are well! The nicer weather selfishly sounds exciting for videos to come!
At 9:32 that could possibly be a pipe tamper.
Helloo, thanks for checking out this episode, I never did get a positive ID on that item, but a pipe tamp is a great shout. Its a lovely little find. Hope you are well and hope to catch you on another episode. G
A field is never really empty. I'm detecting a field with my Deus II, where I've already been with an ORX. Still finding some good stuff. 😊
Hi, thanks for the channel visit and for watching this video. You are right a great permission is never done, but signals do start to become more sparse. I've only been to this place 5 or 6 times. I have other permissions where I have been 60 - 70 times. I will only ever give up on a permission when I cannot make any finds
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Stay in touch with the farmer. Sometimes they plow a bit deeper which brings up new targets. Also frost is lifting stones and other things a little bit.
@@rhinelanddigger none of my permissioms are ever ploughed. I only detect on pasture fields
A good haul mate
Hi mate, cheers, yeah not a bad little pile of finds. In 5 or 6 visits I think that was my only silver find on there. I dunno why but I just cannot find silver for love nor money at the moment. Thanks for watching
Great Video Awesome Stuff
Hi thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I very much hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
The cap badge had the pin, you picked it up by the pin 😳
Wow what a stunning permission bud ,Cracking video as always 👍
Ayup Shawn, yeah this place is not a bad place to spend a days detecting, but its pretty rugged and almost entirely slopes and steep banks, proper ankle buster haha. Thanks as always for tuning in
Great dig Gareth. Love token was nice to see. Congrats' on the 16K Subbers. Cheers, John.
Hi John, thanks for the kind words, the milestones are ticking by slowly but surely, all driven by my Beginners Guide To Metal Detecting video. Apologies for the slow reply mate, catch you on the next one. G
lots of finds Gareth pity most were toasted but the fields have promise, your new friend needs a face wash its all black thanks again cheers
Hi James, apologies for the slow reply here. Yeah the coins do not fair well at this permission. But I bet there's some more nice old silver lurking about somewhere. I am due another trip here to be honest. Hope all is well, catch you on another episode. G
Hello Gareth, good weather back then! Not so wet like today! I beleive you have got some rain the last month?
Good to see you this fine 🌞 day.
I was watching TerraGermania when you uploaded. He's worth watching.
Have you tested the notch 99-99 to get rid of EMI? I will get it a try this season. Starting april 10th. 😝🇸🇪👍
Have a nice day!
Hi mate, apologies for the slow reply. Aye yeah some splendid weather back then, and yeah we have had tonnes and tonnes of rain, one of the wettest winters I remember. I have seen TerraGermania but not really my cup of tea, far too much talking, not enough detecting. Very well filmed and edited though. I would not notch out 99, believe it or not I found a Georgian token yesterday, not a big one, it was giving me a solid 99. I could not believe it!!
The tamper thingy looks to be maybe a pipe tamper tool...maybe?!! And I am wondering if you ever swing your detector with your left hand....or do you always use your right hand? As I get older I am trying to switch it up so as to not wear out....or build up rather... the muscles in both arms equally! Just a thought! Looks like the weather is warming up a bit hey, Gareth?!! Cheers, Mike in sunny Florida
Hi Mike, apologies for the slow reply, as always I am overwhelmed with comments to respond to, so takes me some time to get through them all. I think you might be right with the pipe tamp thing as someone else said that too. Currently I do use my right hand, but fun fact of the day about me, I'm actually left handed and I started metal detecting with my left hand, 10 years ago or so. After a few years though I developed something called trigger finger, one of my fingers would get stuck in a clenched position. I had to have a flippin operation on the palm of my hand. I was meant to be off metal detecting for 4-6 weeks, but was back detecting 3 days later with a very sore left hand. Since then I been detecting right handed. I can easily swap between though, you soon get used to it
Lovely willy3 love token. Wow... October 22?! You must have so many in episodes in storage. Who won Leeds or Arsenal? 😂
Hi mate, always nice to find a bit of silver even if a battered old love token. I only raid the hard drive when I don't have any new content to work on. Think I have 3 or 4 left on the hard drive to edit. Currently have 2 or 3 current projects to edit. Always like to have lots of content available, hence why sometimes I try to film 2 videos in a weekend. Thanks for the visit
Loads of crusty coins,must be more silver to come.
Ayup Dave, I don't know if I ever went back to this permission. I think I might of some weeks later but ended up going home ill. Definitely worth another visit. Very tough place to detect, all steep sided slopes, proper ankle breaker terrain. Thanks as always for watching and apologies for the slow reply. G
How is getting permission done by you??? And is there places that dont require permission
Hi, thanks very much for visiting my channel and for watching this video. Getting permission is the hardest part of metal detecting is getting new permissions. I usually use Google maps to find farms and places with land, then visit after 5pm or on a Saturday morning. I dress smart and use manners and be very polite, enthusiastic and passionate. Speaking to a landowner is a bit like a job interview, you have to quickly give them the impression you are a decent and trustworthy person. Once you have good relations with some landowners, they put you in touch with other landowners. And the more you ask, the better you at it you get. I hope this helps
How is it October 2022 when you uploaded a couple minutes ago and it’s currently 2024?!
Hi Chris, because this is when it was filmed, October 2022
Episode 282 - 💡This week we go back in time to October 2022 as I work through some of my backlog. The most stunning autumnal day, blue sky, sun, lush green fields and old silver. Yet another magical exploration and expedition in the wonderful Derbyshire wild lands.
Thanks👍
Duh
That big silver button with the swirls and a chunk missing...I found one EXACTLY the same yesterday in Kent! It's even got jaggedy chunks missing!
I love your videos do you ever get up northeast coast
Hi Tom, thanks for your kind words, it is very much appreciated. To be honest I very rarely leave Derbyshire. Although I did visit Bamburgh Castle once and did some detecting on the beach
Do you always have to request permission to metaldetect in England? Because I was getting into metal detecting but I didn’t know how to?
Hi Oliver, yes, all land is owned by someone and permission must be granted by the landowner prior. You can get in a whole lot of trouble without permission as it is classed as theft and trespassing. My advice for seeking permission is as follows:
Getting a metal detecting permission is probably the hardest part of the hobby and it can be daunting driving up that track to ask a farmer or landowner. But, the best way to get a permission is face to face, definitely not an email or letter. A farmer needs to see you face to face, and you need to be very polite, extremely polite in fact. I always dress smart too, I wear a shirt, trousers and shoes. To be honest getting a permission is a bit like a job interview, you have to come across as a trustworthy and decent individual. The more you do it, the better at it you get at it. Just be confident and try your best. Good luck. If you have any more questions, please let me know. Have a look at my Beginners Guide To Metal Detecting video for further tips in this awesome hobby. You can find that video here:
